While some may not entirely agree
with Judge Bach in his remarks on
our county affairs owing. perhaps, to
local interests, no one can deny the
force OF his suggestion that the county
should not burden itself with debt all
at once, in the construction OF county
buildings. Fergus county finds itself
IN debt at its very origin, and it should
be the aim and ambition of its citi-
zens to meet one obligation before
contracting another. However. there
are those who deem it bad financiering
to pay out public money i'm rental.
when the money so expended would
pay the interest on long time bonds,
the principal to 10 paid when the
county is able. But the question is
only one Of time when public buildings
must he erected, and We should neither
be too hasty nor too slow. When the
time comes to erect county buildings,
the locality, from natural and central
considerations, will suggest itself We
have nothing but contempt for that
small community who want the county
seat at its four corners, wherever il |
may he. The whole people-the tax
have voice in the To-
.ation of county seats and the ersc-
ion OF county buildings. What
'hanses will occur in our county in the
next three years no one can forctell:
'ut for the present the capital of Fer
JUS county, everyone will agree, is
lightly located, and here, in all proba.
'ility will ever remain it's seat of
government.

POLICE COURT.

The cases against DR.. Guthrie for vio-
lation Of the prohibitory ordinance came
to an end on Saturday. Three of these
cases had previously been dismissed by
the Solicitor, when on Thursday (25th)
No. Z was tried, which resulted in an
acquittal of the defendant, the witness
Foulk, on whom the prosecution relied
for a conviction, not being able to recall
the circumstances Of the purchase of in.
toxicating liquors from Guthrie on July
9th, the day in question. The trial of
No. 8, for keeping place where liquors
were sold unlawfully on July 2sth, was
then commenced, and was finally con-
cluded on Saturday afternoon, large
amount of evidence being heard. The
Mayor found Guthrie guilty as charged
in the complaint. 1t was shown that
on the night of July 2sth Foulk had
made three separ ate purchases of liquor
at Guthrie's within the space of half an
hour, the first being two bottles OF beer
and each Of the others one-h half pint OF
whiskey, too much, in the opinion OF
the Court, to be covered by one pre-.
scription.
On Thursday evening last Harry Chap.
man was found by the officers staggering
about the streets, very drunk and quite
profane and noisy. The next morning,
on plea of guilty, Mayor Harman fined
him $25, which was secured, and the
gentlemen went his way. He says that
he got his liquor at Greenfield.
The "Red Onion" has again furnished
representative in sthe Police Court.
On Saturday night last Officers Steven.
son and Devoss stationed themselves
within the corporation line on the Gin.
cinnati pike, when they heard gang OF
toughs coming toward town. When
about to the officers, one OF them, Oliver
Burns, a colored man living on William
Larkin's farm in New Market township,
stopped the crowd and got in some sort
OF difficulty, during which he gave
vent to some very loud and Atty Ian.
guage. Someone told him that the police
would get him, whereupon he said, "If
any of them try to take me I'll put a
bullet-hole into him! I'm going up into
town and holler and swear as loud as 1
want to-" At the close of these and
other remarks, not quite so chaste, the
two officers grabbed him and told him
to go with them; but the fellow evi.
IDENTIFY intended making his boast good,
for there ensued one of the worst fights
that the police have ever had on their
hands. After half an hours struggle
with the powerful brute, in which it was
found necessary to use the mace quite
freely, a wagon happened by and he was
loaded up and taken to the station
house, fighting every foot of the road.
During the melee, before the appearance
of the wagon, the rest OF the crowd,
headed by q negro name Oliver Whalin,
made q rush for the officers who had
Burns and swore that they must give
him up. Officer Stevenson drew his re-
volver and held the crowd in check by
threats until the wagon appeared. On
Sunday Burns pleaded guilty on two
charges - drunkenness and disorderly
conduct, and resisting the officers, for
which the fines and costs footed up the
sum OF $59.70. This, in addition to q
very badly SCARED face and head, the
result of the officers mace. His fine
was secured.
